What time will it be 18 hours from now in India, if in USA, it is 4 hours 15 minutes ?
(Given that India is 9 hours 30 minutes ahead of USA)

Detailed Solution for Test: Clocks & Calendars (February 8) - Question 3

We know that the time difference between India and USA is 9 hours 30 minutes.
India is 9 hours 30 minutes  ahead of USA.
Time in India = 4 hours 15 minutes + 9 hours 30 minutes = 13 hours 45 minutes 
Required time after 18 hrs = 13 hours 45 minutes + 18 hrs = 7 hours 45 minutes 
Hence, it is 7 hours 45 minutes  the next morning.
